Paco's pit
I'll describe myself as a bright 30 something year old dude person with many interests. I write about movie stars, regular people, super heroes, technology and plain weird stuff. This blog is a place to learn, a place to explore and a place to exchange ideas. Feel free to leave comments or make suggestions.

My time in hell, gripe of the week
For the past two weeks I've been working at my job as a receptionist. Most of the time everything runs smoothly. However, I will be writing my gripes in this blog.
Today I will start with Gripe #1.
Gripe #1
If you have caller ID, don't misuse it.

I get many calls per day with someone asking the question "Did somebody call here?" or any variation of "Somebody called me from this number", or "What is this?", "Who am I calling?".
First of all, I'm a receptionist, not a mind-reader. If I were a mind-reader, I would not answer your phone call believe me, I'd let the phone ring to my heart's content.
If you're calling someone just because you received a call from that number, then you should at least think of something better to say than to ask such questions. If the number seems strange, then it's either a miss-dialed call, or the call is not meant for YOU.
However, If you feel that it's really important to call back, then think of something important to say. Here are some examples of important things you can say to ME, when you call.

"I'm George W. Bush, and I'd like to let you be the first to know that I'm resigning my post and handing my presidency to you."


"I'm Stan Lee or Sam Raimi from Marvel Comics/Sony Pictures, I'd like you to take over for Tobey Maguire in the next Spiderman Movie."

This is God, I'm coming back soon. Repent.

Last but not least,
I'm the dude from GGW and I need a camera man this weekend in Cancun, all expenses paid, are you available?
Aside from that, please restrain yourself from calling. It might be hard to do, but it's not impossible.

Spider-Man and Mary Jane
These two pictures below are wonderful spider-man art by Al Rio. He is a wonderful artist from Brazil. Al Rio specializes in comic book art and most of his art features the female form in a sensual/sexual way. His art can be seen on his own website and purchased as posters or lithographs.
